Notes & Combos

The deck has a generally favorable matchup against Mathmechs; Masquerade is just a beast going 1st and the deck generally has enough gas to break the board going second. Against Runick, it depends on whether they manage to draw into Rivalry of Warlords (or stall you enough until they get to it), since Skill Drain's not a huge issue thanks to Snow/Branded in Red/Comedy.

As far as the worse matchups go, notables are Adamancipator (if you go 2nd) and Swordsoul (thanks Protoss), as well as generally any going 1st decks which can either set up floodgates (Secret Village, Anti-Spell Fragrance) or those which can build boards exceeding Droplet's board-breaking capabilities. When it comes to long games, not many decks can outgrind this deck, except for Runick once they get going and something like Branded Shaddoll.

In regards to card choices, Alba-Lenatus basically never saw use - Starving Venom is probably slightly better, though it doesn't really matter either way IMO (the concept of fusing a Dragon Link field into Lenatus is pretty fun). Main Deck-wise, I like the current line-up, though I forgot to include Gold Sarcophagus (which should take the place of the 3rd Patchwork/Albion/Desires).
